Franck Kessié has proved his true talent and potential under the guidance of coach Stefano Pioli in the double pivot role. The defensive midfielder is a true force that helps his teammates and always provides goals and solutions.
He has become untouchable for the squad, and for that reason, AC Milan want to protect themselves by renewing his contract soon.
For the management, Kessié is a priority as they see him as a true leader. The club wants to reward him with an improved contract. But the player also has admirers from Spain.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara want to keep the 24-year-old midfielder and have actually proposed a 5-year-contract (until 2026) of 3.5 million euros salary which reaches 4 million euros by including bonuses. He currently earns 2.2 million euros.
But, it is not easy as Franck's entourage asks for 5 million euros. There is obviously some gap between offer and demand, but it can be bridged. The Milan managers do not want to lose another player for free after the Donnarumma affair, reports Calciomercato.com.
